I IMPROVEMENT IN GUIDES FOR YARN-SPOOLlNG MACHINES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 148,287, dated March l0, 1874; application filed l February 4, 1874.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, WILLIAM F. DRAPER and Josnrn B. BANoRoFT, of Hopedale, of the county of Worcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Im'- provement in Guides for Machines for Spool i ing Yarn; and do hereby declare the same to be fully described in the following specification, and represented in the accompanying drawings, of which- Figure 1 is a top view, Fig. 2 a side elevation, and Fig. 3 a longitudinal section, of one of our improved yarn-guides for spoolers.

This guide readily adapts or adjusts itself to the line of draft ot' the yarn between the bobbin and the spool, as suoli line may continue to diverge or increase in Obliquity as the mass of yarn wound on the spool may increase in diameter; furthermore, the guide-slit plates are arranged in a circle and held in a socket in the adjustable arm by a clamp-screw, such arrangement admitting of a series of guideslits instead of a single `one being extended from or applied to the arm, thus enabling a fresh slit to be used, or the slits tobe varied' in width as wear of the slit or slits may take place.

In the drawings, A denotes the stand or supporter of the adjustable arm 13 carrying the guide G or series of guide-pieces c c a a, one of which is shown in perspective view in Fig. et. The said supporter has a screw, b, and nuts c d, for holding it in place in the machine, and it is socketed at the top, as shownat f, to receive the pivot c of the bent arm B.

rest upon the bottom of 'the socket, the same y being as represented, and enabling the screwhead, by bearing upon the flange, to hold the guide-piece in place. The guide-pieces can be adjusted in distance asunder, and Xed in position, as occasion may require. As the arm can turn freely in its socket, the guide can readily move around to accommodate itself' to the line of draft of the yarn, as such line may change its Obliquity as the mass of yarn wound on the spool may increase iu diameter.

We claim as our invention as follows, viz:

1. The combination of the arm B, pivoted to the supporter A, with such supporter and the guide G.

2. The guide C, composed of the series of flanged plates a, in combination with the arm B, socketed and provided with the clampscrew, all being substantially as specified.
